Whens the last time a rich person did anything for you? Yeah me
neither.
So what you're saying is that you want some of the wealth without working
for
it?
Like you do?
Me? I worked for mine! I suggest that you get your shine box out and join M

on the corner and get busy, boys.

My point exactly is that risk is being transferred from capital to
labor, without commensurate reward. Things are out of kilter. New
